What is Active Families?

Active Families is a weight and lifestyle management service for children (and their families) aged 5-16 years. It includes a mix of one-to-one appointments and group education, including physical activity sessions.
The whole programme is interactive and designed for the child, their parents and other family members to gain advice and support while having fun in a friendly environment.
The Team includes a Registered Dietitian, School Nurse and trained Physical Activity Advisors / Support Workers. These provide specialist help for you and your family to achieve and maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
